The Spirit of Music has become a renowned reference loudspeaker worldwide, that “recreates the perfect sound of a sparkling work with spatial sound ambience” and has therefore received a great number of awards. To celebrate the 80th year of ELAC, this cult loudspeaker is now presented in a brandnew design.

The impressive floorstanding loudspeaker provides an outstanding and authentic sound stage. Like the previous model, this loudspeaker offers deep bass sound, great imaging, perfect instrumental localization and spaciousness. It combines the merits of stereophonic sound (new 4Pi-II tweeter) and monitor sound (JET III tweeter).

This loudspeaker offers a clever solution of acoustic compensation. Different binding posts may be used for either free field setups or for setups close to walls. This anniversary edition incorporates our ideas of authentic music reproduction, beautiful design and the quality of manufacture made in Germany.

4Pi II Omnidirectional Tweeter Unit

360 degree omnidirectional ribbon tweeter yields a resonance-free upper cut-off frequency of 50 kHz and makes this tweeter an ideal component for the reproduction of SACD and DVD-A. Its impressive and silky sound quality gives rise to airy sound that comes off easily.

The Principle:
An 0.006mm aluminium ribbon forms the membrane, which due to its low weight shows an extroardinarily high sensitivity. When a current passes this membrane it expands and contracts like a breathing cylinder. Driven by a strong neodymium magnet system, the flexible ribbon yields maximum levels up to 50,000 Hz.

Treble Unit

The ELAC JET tweeter is one of the most legendary tweeters in the hi-fi trade and has won international renown with its unusual transparent and effortless sound image.

The JET tweeter was delveloped to perfection on the basis of the famous 'Air Motion Transformer' by loudpseaker pioneer Dr Oskar Heil. Its principle: a concertinaed foil membrane is driven by a strong magnet system of neodymium rods.

This 'motor' drives the air considerably faster than the conventional pistonic technique. High sensitivity and extraordiary dynamics are the result. Due to continuous improvement, the JET III tweeter now creates an effortless and airy resonance-free image up to 50,000 Hz, and with its linear frequency response is ideally suited for the reproduction of DVD-A and SACD.

Midrange Unit

The TT 115 AS woofers are designed in the ELAC proprietary aluminium sandwich technique. In a special glueing procedure, an aluminium foil of 0.2mm is joint to a pulp fibre cone to form a sandwich membrane.

The result: reduced partial oscillations, no distortions and an optimised large signal behaviour.

Bass and Midbass Units

TT 180 AS midbass used in: CL 82 and Spirit of Music MK III.

The woofers of the 200 Series are designed in the ELAC proprietary aluminium sandwich technique. In a special glueing procedure, an aluminium foil of 0.2mm is joint to a pulp fibre cone to form a sandwich membrane. The result: reduced partial oscillations, no distortions and an optimised large signal behaviour.

Due to the specially wide double asymmetrical ('DAS') rubber surround, ELAC's TT 180 woofer can handle up to ±15mm long stroke. This provides maximum level supply and mellow low bass. For a driver this size, such a large displacement represent a unique engineering achievement.
